[pale wolf]

and what else

[rough prairie]

That is wild, I thjought I was already the minority with being mobile

[slate lance]

C+ is only done by 0.5% of ppl on ps

[slate lance]

Only

[white zodiac]

the majority of the active audience is currently on mobile iirc

[signal frigate]

Jesus Christ, why is it 1 thousand?

[pale wolf]

so one platform

[slate lance]

Im on one

[rough prairie]

Balatro is killing my battery

[slate lance]

Oh

[pale wolf]

oh you meant like

i get it

[slate lance]

Yeah 😭

Stats from one trophy dont always account for everything

[signal frigate]

This has become one of my favorite runs recently

[pale wolf]

are you saying that some platforms might be higher skill level than others

[slate lance]

I think i had a run like this for mu chrckered goldstake

Peak

[verbal holly]

I've been waiting for this for ages I'm so happy

[signal frigate]

Because of this

[signal frigate]

It went completely balls to the walls insane in endless, I just kept winning

[slate lance]

No im saying different platforms can have 1. Different types of ppl and 2. Different amounts of ppl playing

[signal frigate]

When I thought I'd lose, it won anyways

[white zodiac]

more than one profile too

[slate lance]

For example maybe console players arent gonna be into balatro as much On average

Due to no modding

So they might not play until a goldstake or smt

[signal frigate]

I'm on mobile and pc

[slate lance]

Ur lucky

I want bluestorm yuri

😔

[pale wolf]

i am on androidoid

[white zodiac]

my first baltro introduction was on switch

[signal frigate]

Well, I'm too poor for consoles, I think I'm less lucky

[slate lance]

Pc is literally better tho

[signal frigate]

You always gave me the impression that you're on PC

[signal frigate]

It's the exact Feckin same game.

[slate lance]

Mods and texture packs

[pale wolf]

i dont have a working pc

[signal frigate]

I'm not allowed to talk about that on mobile

[white zodiac]

given the screenshots and vids he's shared it was mostly a giveaway

[slate lance]

We cant have it on ps

[pale wolf]

I guess I could get the game on switch though

[rough prairie]

Not having texture packs is fine, mods I kinda want

[pale wolf]

maybe it's ideal

[signal frigate]

What difference does it make? You can play it everywhere on a phone

[white zodiac]

i like their switch bugs so much it rendered one of my anaglyph saves unplayable

[slate lance]

Whatre the mods Gonna do? Smite us? 😂

...
Ermm, theyre right behind me aren't they

[slate lance]

But i want cool looking jokers

[rough prairie]

"cool"

[slate lance]

I get bored of the vanilla designs

[pale wolf]

skill issue

[signal frigate]

I want Hatsune Miku frfr

[coarse silo]

Not to mention it has apple achievements

[signal frigate]

Ngl, Neato Jokers is such a fun mod

[rough prairie]

Only texture pack I've seen is the one Doc uses and I think it made most jokers way wrose

[pale wolf]

well what if i c++ my other profiles

[signal frigate]

It's a jokers only mod and they're all really fun

[signal frigate]

Actually that's fair

[slate lance]

Theres a lot of cool ones

I gtg sleep tho goodnight my balatros

[white zodiac]

my 4th profile is gonna turn to dust soon

[signal frigate]

Goodnight deer

[wraith copper]

bro black deck gold stake is the bane of my existence

[fringe crest]

silly glitch

idk how to even do it ngl

[wraith copper]

wtf

is this seeded

[fringe crest]

yea

[white zodiac]

classic mobile exclusive

[signal frigate]

I can immediately tell this is mobile

[fringe crest]

someone wanted this typa seed so i searched for it found it and it was way better than i thought

[white zodiac]

who would've thought

[wraith copper]

anyway yall got any tips for black deck gold stake

[fringe crest]

i play mobile so i can play anywhere

[wraith copper]

i genuinely think ive choked on ante 7 like

8 times

[fringe crest]

ive lowk js been crying trying to

[safe moat]

Pair lobotomy

Cruelty deck

[wraith copper]

yikes

[coarse silo]

Burnt joker my beloved

[wraith copper]

cruelty was my least favorite challenge to complete

[fringe crest]

ive lost bc of violet vessel on plasma 4 times now

[safe moat]

I did it first try

[minor portal]

haha funny white stake gaming, should I purchase seeing double

[signal frigate]

That was more torturous than Jokerless somehow

[white zodiac]

mostly early game leverage choice making could make or break a late game build

[wraith copper]

jokerless is mad easy icl

when you can get absolutely zero jokers in rotation

its so easy to scale glass and lucky cards

[white zodiac]

two pairs is a decent alternative poker hand to speculative play

[coarse silo]

Jokerless is just about leveling up your planets enough and deckfixing a lot tbf

Localthunk better allow us to play challenges in all the stakes because jokerless gold stake would be fun to see

[signal frigate]

You can technically do that

With some modding stuff though

Doc did black stake Jokerless on Gold Stake

[coarse silo]

I’m on mobile

[signal frigate]

And of fucking course he won

[white zodiac]

which is essentially purp stake

[coarse silo]

Doc did chips only and won

[white zodiac]

it took several hundred seed searching hours

[signal frigate]

Ye, it's hilarious how the last three stakes are centered around jokers

So it didn't matter

[white zodiac]

sometimes I make some personal challenges that seem impressive in retrospect

[gloomy marsh]

playing high card with stuntman is preferred, right? as opposed to pairs

[white zodiac]

most of the time yeah

[gloomy marsh]

doesnt seem to be much merit in playing pairs unless you pull a pair related joker (which i dont have)

[gloomy marsh]

figures. thanks

[white zodiac]

a couple exceptions would be seeing double or duo but not much outside of it

or obelisk ig

[forest bolt]

is this game not gettig updated again?

[tender quarry]

If you're planning on staying in stuntman, yes

But there are times it's worth looking for a way out too

[fringe crest]

guys what should i get for the jolliest holliday ever

[dire crater]

I dont know how this is working

A little bit of this a little bit of that

[rough prairie]

I've heard there was an update planned to balance the poker hands at gold stake since so much of gold stake seems to devolve into "play pairs"

[lunar zealot]

2026

be patient

[blazing shadow]

glass build is disappointing me... am i doing smth wrong here

[gaunt temple]

goodbye cruel world ( FIVE DIFFRENT INVIS JOKERS NOT ONE BARON)

[languid pecan]

were there any idols

[white zodiac]

you've hit the exponential mult cap

[blazing shadow]

idk what that means... but i have 5 jokers that scale each round like wtf

glass build so underwhelming

[torpid veldt]

that's the best strategy

[white zodiac]

half of these jokers aren't meant for endless as well as a huge majority of jokers in endless

[shell dagger]

retriggers reach a much higher peak than scaling jokers can reasonably scale to

[blazing shadow]

well shit, i thought i could naneinf with glass build

guess not

[shell dagger]

nowhere close

[simple stream]

it hit campfire instead of stencil but I made it work First gold stake win with double eternal stencil + negative and postive campfires

[white zodiac]

baron mime is the default naneinf layout

[tranquil cargo]

all the naneinf methods require perkeo except the baron mime burglar serpent method

[shell dagger]

with 2 brainstorms and 2 glass joker you’d need each glass joker to be xe75 roughly

[white zodiac]

rest are normally specific perkeo setups

[blazing shadow]

damn...

[kindred blade]

Everyone talking about naneinf meanwhile I can't beat the green stake on the red deck 😭

[shell dagger]

or xe38 on plasma

[blazing shadow]

how about lucky cat run? could i get close to naneinf

[shell dagger]

no

[tranquil cargo]

anything that just applies xmult a single time is useless for naneinf generally

[blazing shadow]

dont worry, this is seeded runs

[tranquil cargo]

it needs to apply xmult a bunch of times

[shell dagger]

again, you need either 100 lucky cats with ankh ecto shenanigans or you’d need 4 of them to be xe38 each

[pale wolf]

perkeo cryptid mime naneinf is possible

[blazing shadow]

except baron build?

[kindred blade]

😮‍💨 ok so I'm not as trash as I previously thought

[pale wolf]

what about it

[blazing shadow]

asking if naneinf is possible with no baron build

[torpid veldt]

please stop using me to naneinf, i'm tired 🤕

[shell dagger]

it’s possible, just extremely unreasonable

[pale wolf]

I think it's possible with enough copy Jokers early enough to do it without Baron

[white zodiac]

any normal on joker scaling naneinf is practically impossible to naneinf with a couple unorthodox exceptions

[sly bolt]

sup zeb

[shell dagger]

inf

[pale wolf]

hielloha

ahoy

[sly bolt]

I agree

[dire crater]

Is this good or i should take the walkietalkie

[sly bolt]

good to wake license up faster

but you do need scoring first

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[safe moat]

Is resetting on jokerless common?

[serene forge]

obviously good

[sly bolt]

jokerless is pretty easy ngl

but yeah I guess resetting can be common there

[safe moat]

I keep dying to some bosses

[sly bolt]

which one

[safe moat]

Just died to the eye

[white zodiac]

could be, early game is too inconsistent to be streaking jokerless in my imo

[shell dagger]

aye aye aye

[dire crater]

I got errrrrrrrrrrrrrr torero? Bullman?

[serene forge]

in i my opinion

[dire crater]

matador

And

[white zodiac]

me when i crop important information

[sly bolt]

real

[heady narwhal]

midas mask is a top 3 value generation joker

slightly worse when it:s eternal but still very good

[white zodiac]

he's on abandoned

[simple stream]

rate my jokers

[shell dagger]

96

[sly bolt]

stencil

[dire crater]

Wdym

[sly bolt]

stencil is so peak

[dire crater]

I got stencil in my first dagger challenge

[simple stream]

3 stencils and I love them so much cuz all x5

[sly bolt]

yes

[white zodiac]

x7.5*

[dire crater]

thats all the jokers the pack gave me

[sly bolt]

wait did you feed it to the dagger

[sly bolt]

no you cropped the deck

[white zodiac]

you cropped the abandoned deck on ante 7 while being broke

[dire crater]

Thats all the deck lmao, first shop got drives licence and pack midas mask

[sly bolt]

not what I meant 😭

[dire crater]

ghost

[white zodiac]

omg

show the full fkin screenshot

[dire crater]

I play casuals in ghost black stake

[sly bolt]

you really are phil mask from hotline miami

[dire crater]

[dire crater]

Nonono, i used only both to complete the challenge, i was just feeding dagger with any joker i found in the store

Shop

Arrrghh

and stelcil did his job with those 3 free space

[twin lantern]

hellooooo

[simple stream]

trueeeee and somehow my poly hit what I needed as well

this is the luckiest run ive had in a really weird way

[warped crown]

Im having one of my craziest photochad runs

[simple stream]

how many photo/chad?

[rough prairie]

My best was 1 photo 4 chads

[simple stream]

is it too late to join you?

[warped crown]

2 +mult chads
Poly photo
Negative sock and buskin
Negative perkeo
+mult burning joker forgot his name

Im duping deaths and copying my foil steel kings

[simple stream]

pretty solid

I'd look for brainstorm, blueprint, or a mime to replace burning joker soon

[warped crown]

I finally beat gold stake red its so boringg

[fiery nymph]

hey bro do you have enough xmult

[warped crown]

Thats what im looking for and a baron maybe

[simple stream]

ALL I HAVE IS XMULT

[warped crown]

Even better

[fiery nymph]

clearly not enough

[simple stream]

won the game with only x mults lmao

I don't think i have ever done that actually

[simple stream]

yeah baron or mime might work too

[ocean yoke]

12/10

[sly bolt]

hello chat I'm pretty new to the game, how do I unlock the scribbled joker?

[white zodiac]

project hail mary is a good novel i recommend before watching movies next year

[warped crown]

Just wait until i get strength and chariot lol i have a red seal queen rn

[safe moat]

Would illusionary be a good idea on joker less?

[sly bolt]

no

[warped crown]

No

[sly bolt]

just focus on tarots and planets

[warped crown]

For jokerless i prayed for an early spectral and played five of a kind

[sly bolt]

it'll just bloat your shop

[young python]

what deck gold stake should i do

or should i do jokerless

[warped crown]

Plasma is fun

[white zodiac]

euuh

[young python]

ngl i hate plasma gold stake 😭

[white zodiac]

it's only the second hardest deck tbf

abandoned is a guilty pleasure

[young python]

might do jokerless honestly it’s been a minute

[young python]

my guilt pleasure deck is zodiac

[white zodiac]

blue is on record the most consistent overall

magic is my personal fav

[young python]

when i first started i loved green now it’s more middle of the road imo

[chilly spindle]

asking for reference on a mod issue i can't test rn, does verdant leaf debuff consumables or no? supposedly someone is having them debuffed by it but i don't remember that in vanilla lol

[young python]

jokerless time wish me luck

[shell dagger]

disgusting

[lunar zealot]

Get out

[warped crown]

Ur broke

[shell dagger]

op build bootstraps and thowback

[warped crown]

Anaglyph

[lunar zealot]

fr ong

[white zodiac]

wow that's like 2 glass card breaks for glassy

[shell dagger]

truly insane

[sour storm]

i mean, just 2 throwback and blueprint got me a 7-8 min goldstake

[shell dagger]

double throwback is worth fullskipping with

that just rarely happens

[white zodiac]

it's essentially old throwback

[charred spruce]

wee: 888
fortune teller: 79
trousers: 60

o7

4 of my fav jokers in 1 run

[bleak hemlock]

literally on my knees at my walmart begging for some scoring 🧎‍♂️

[safe moat]

I think this is rather impressive

[bleak hemlock]

very good boy

[lunar zealot]

what's the one that isn't.

There is a wrong answer to this question.

Which joker here isn't your favorite.

[safe moat]

I have a guess

[white zodiac]

im sorry little one

[manic talon]

5 more perishables

[bleak hemlock]

time to not get a single card pack for the next 3 antes and die 💀

[tranquil cargo]

even if you do get one, you need +mult more than you need 1.25x mult

[bleak hemlock]

ty senpai 0w0

[manic talon]

just get certificate and manifest blue seals

[bleak hemlock]

got an early hole

[brisk mango]

Is it worth replacing something for Splash

[white zodiac]

naur

[bleak hemlock]

the answer to that question

"Is it worth replacing something for Splash"

is almost always a "oh hell naw"

[manic talon]

absolutely not

[brisk mango]

Oh

I guess Splash is a more nice early game grab and then throw out later?

[manic talon]

splash is like, really niche, even early game it doesnt see much use

[tranquil cargo]

splash gets its name because it's the kind of card you throw into a pool and never come back for

[white zodiac]

more like all of your jokers are currently more functional

[heady narwhal]

more or less

[wintry ice]

splash is for econ utility

[bleak hemlock]

Splash is a more nice never pick up grab

[wintry ice]

if you get an actual 5th joker you usually sell it immediately

chat do i do it

[fiery nymph]

what is a genuine way to use splash

[heady narwhal]

i think the fact that it's $3 makes it much much better than some other jokers

it's helpful when it's helpful

[bleak hemlock]

econ

flower pot

[heady narwhal]

lucky and gold seal mostly

[fiery nymph]

right

[wintry ice]

i'm doing it

[heady narwhal]

it's sort of a similar logic to oops

[silent quiver]

Card trigger effects

Thats like a main mechanic in the game

[white zodiac]

midas, glass, vamp, uhhh

[silent quiver]

Its a synergy card

[wintry ice]

uh which one of these do i take

[bleak hemlock]

are you jorking it?

[wintry ice]

i'm polying my egg

[silent quiver]

Halucination

[young python]

rahhh easy game

[heady narwhal]

i wouldb't say that when most on-card-scored jokers are ass

[young python]

lemme share results

[white zodiac]

depends on boss blind

[wintry ice]

most on-scored cards usually only last until midgame

[heady narwhal]

it's $10 real estate

[wintry ice]

manacle

instant gluten

[bleak hemlock]

time to have a very large deck

[white zodiac]

id go gluten for safety

[wintry ice]

yeag

[white zodiac]

could always high roll but yk me 💔

[wintry ice]

it let me maximise a parking i got in the same round more easily

[silent quiver]

I did not ever say it was a great essential thing for ever run i just said like enhanced cards and seals and stuff like that is like a primary mechanic if the game

[young python]

never quit gambling rule 1

[mossy finch]

hi

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[white zodiac]

if mamacle/hooky, prioritize scoring. if any other boss, prioritize value gen "generally" depending on joker options

[serene forge]

NO

[manic talon]

to water the plants

[mossy finch]

it is taken from berserk manga

[wintry ice]

damn rental parking going off

[heady narwhal]

i guess hallucination is pretty bad for a value generator to get in ante 1

[serene forge]

sell for campfire value

[wintry ice]

uh

[heady narwhal]

not gonna get anything out of it for like three rounds

[wintry ice]

okay this is a tough choice

[white zodiac]

it has some late game potential with egguh

yeah

uhh

[brisk mango]

Ah shit

[wintry ice]

erm

[white zodiac]

a2 boss blind?

[heady narwhal]

i'd runner here. it's my #1 most used joker after all

[white zodiac]

id generally take runner yeah

[brisk mango]

Fuckkk idk what to do

[white zodiac]

sell hiker he's done enough

[silent quiver]

I got mobile like a week ago and i havent done anything else

I thought it was bad before

[serene forge]

sell blueprint

[shell dagger]

Sell everything except red card

[silent quiver]

Whats ur hiker at

[bright slate]

how do i get a cryptid into my inv

[novel moss]

Tell hiker to take a hike 😂 😂 😂

[heady narwhal]

sell hiker

[silent quiver]

Seance sixth sense ghost deck

[bright slate]

so im just cooked if i dont have one at ante 14

[silent quiver]

Well yea

[brisk mango]

Maybe overkill
300k for a 100k blind

[silent quiver]

If ur trying to nan u need to copy it a good amount before u actually need it

[bright slate]

yea

but the problem is

[silent quiver]

Good job man

[bright slate]

getting it in the first place

[silent quiver]

Love too see it keep up the good work

[silent quiver]

Its not impossible to get u just kinda have to know ur trying to get it

[bright slate]

yea but

how am i getting it in the first place yk

[silent quiver]

Perkeo isnt a consistent way to nan either so if ur looking to go for high score id definitely recommend going for the boss reroll serpent tech

[silent quiver]

Stars have to align yea

[bright slate]

yea but how

is there fr no other way than sixth

[silent quiver]

Seance and ghost deck

[manic talon]

you can also do it on ghost deck and just find a cryptid in shop, the tradeoff you would need to copy more cryptids

[terse dock]

Look up

[vocal rose]

deck fixing and use seance

[bright slate]

im on plasma

wdym seance

what that

[vocal rose]

bruh

[silent quiver]

The joker

Seance

[bright slate]

what it do

[vocal rose]

oml

[wintry ice]

would it be worth it to dupe a few jacks for 1 round of parking

[terse dock]

Create a spectral card when a straight flush is played

[wintry ice]

also known as nothing

[vocal rose]

perhaps

[silent quiver]

Wraith has brainstorm tryst

[manic talon]

why are people naneinf-ing a game they havent been familiar with, i blame youtubers

[vocal rose]

yeah

[bright slate]

balatro no lifes when some1 doesnt know every joker

[vocal rose]

thats what im wondering

[silent quiver]

Yea

[brisk mango]

UHHH
oops?????

[vocal rose]

tf

[bright slate]

so sixth is my better option ig

[fervent wolf]

Exactly

[digital wind]

Finally, a win with painted deck

[vocal rose]

I dont care if you know that shit at all

lmfao

[manic talon]

if youre naneinf-ing you should atleast be familiar with the jokers related to it

[silent quiver]

Well i mean rn ur just cooked man

[bright slate]

thing is getting rid of perkeo is gg bc need for cryptid

[silent quiver]

Play the game however u want he gon learn either way

[silent quiver]

Why would u get rid of perkeo

[wintry ice]

also do i take trio here

[bright slate]

unless i dont go for cryptid and then just go burglar

[vocal rose]

not really if its just endless grinding

[terse dock]

Copy temperance

[vocal rose]

when hes not even familiar with the game

[white zodiac]

if u don't know the jokers that have the compatibility to naneinf, do you deserve to naneinf?

[silent quiver]

Hes familiarizing himself with the game by asking for help in this discord server and hes getting clowned for it

[white zodiac]

generally if I have zero value cards in deck I would

[bright slate]

HUHHHH???

RANDOM SEED WTF

[terse dock]

Come on guys

[silent quiver]

Yea its like weird to do go for naninf if u dont know the game but like it dont matter

[silent quiver]

I want ur seed

[terse dock]

Just let him do what he wants to do

[wintry ice]

i have a gold seal

[fervent wolf]

Temp

[terse dock]

Don't lecture him over it

[terse dock]

Copy perk when you leave the shop

[vocal rose]

sure

[white zodiac]

naneinf is most likely out of reach if you don't change to the standard baron mime a25 burger snake tech or some crimson bean phenomenon. perkeo was most likely 8 antes too late

[brisk mango]

Good run imo

Ante 10, personal best and on red stake

[bright slate]

crimson bean doesnt work anymore tho does it

[silent quiver]

Saying he doesnt deserve it as if its not a poker rogue like computer game u dont have to earn anything play the game however u want

[terse dock]

There hasn't been a patch since april

It does

[manic talon]

the game has not been updated

[white zodiac]

still works

[bright slate]

oh dem

[silent quiver]

True

[white zodiac]

until the foreseeable 1.1

[terse dock]

2026 baby

[wintry ice]

also

[manic talon]

allegedly

[bright slate]

I JUST REROLLED ON SIXTH

[wintry ice]

since i have just used the cryptid

i think i can use trio

[silent quiver]

U got time get to work 💪💪

[terse dock]

Thunk isnt Rockstar games

[white zodiac]

I remember when redigit said 2024 👅

what if he goes into another rocket league craze

[terse dock]

Hold him at gunpoint

[silent quiver]

Finished update over a rushed update any day

[terse dock]

I was referring to gta6

[bright slate]

FAAAHHH

[silent quiver]

Balatros balance is fragile and its in the argument for the most well balanced rogue like ever so id rather him take his time than mess dat up

[silent quiver]

Ahhh

[terse dock]

Hold R

[silent quiver]

👍👍

[terse dock]

Naw

[silent quiver]

Refund game

[terse dock]

Slay the spire id say is more balanced

[vale wharf]

I hate scaling and econ jokers, I'm going all brute force from here on out 😠🔪

[bright slate]

cant i got 110 hours

[white zodiac]

ive heard all the new players hold the r button for better luck

[heady narwhal]

i haven't played many other roguelikes but balala meta favors pairs way too much imo

[vale wharf]

What genre is slay the spire?

[white zodiac]

I can say sts is more balanced

card roguelite

[terse dock]

Roguelite

[vale wharf]

Oh

So it's like balatro

[silent quiver]

I just got into sts and i really love it im not familiar enough either the game to make that call doe

[terse dock]

Its balatro but magic the gathering

[white zodiac]

and somewhat not beginner friendly

[vale wharf]

I always thought it was a 2d platforme

[silent quiver]

True there is very little utility for certain hands

[heady narwhal]

also i think idol et al are way too useless

[vale wharf]

Is balatro a balanced game?

[bright slate]

do i just sell perkeo for invis

[silent quiver]

Yea

[white zodiac]

no

[bright slate]

WAIT FOR BURGLAR I NEED WAY MORE THAN THIS

FAAHHH

[terse dock]

Overall its a bit iffy

[heady narwhal]

something like loyalty card or flowerpot is fun because of how bad it is but those ones just take up a shop slot and nothing else

[white zodiac]

but it's better than most roguelikes depending on what you look at

[terse dock]

It isnt unbalanced

[manic talon]

its a singleplayer game, idk what balance even entails

[fervent wolf]

Just do this

[tranquil cargo]

balatro's pretty well-balanced, as is slay the spire (if we ignore watcher)

[vale wharf]

The duality of balalas

[terse dock]

Watcher is azazel

[white zodiac]

joker diversity is cool and gets a lot of attention overall. there's just a few outliers and pair lobotomy existing

[tranquil cargo]

azazel?

[terse dock]

Binding of isaac

[wintry ice]

chat is this real

[heady narwhal]

i'd say that a balanced roguelike would encourage a variety of types of builds without one single best strategy to go for every time

[manic talon]

i mean the decks arent that too far off from each other (except black that shit is ass)

[manic talon]

well i guess its not that balanced rn then if you put it that way

[silent quiver]

Tboi

[vocal rose]

balatro isn't balanced

[tender quarry]

I would say balatro is not balanced, but it is almost balanced

[wintry ice]

well

[silent quiver]

Actually sts is unbalanced resting is useless

Just dont ever take damage

[vale wharf]

Card packs are so stupid 😂
They're giving me purple seal gold cards 😠

[tender quarry]

There are a couple of huge outliers that completely dominate everything else but when those get nerfed it'll probably be fine

[manic talon]

all we need is to turn mercury into +5 chip +0 mult planet and the game is fixed

[silent quiver]

Core mechanic redundant ive never used it and ive never lost

[terse dock]

You get chipped a lot on ascension 20

[tender quarry]

I want +10/+1 mercury tbh

[terse dock]

Blood for blood goes from c tier to s tier

[white zodiac]

all we need is -1 hand +2 discards for blue stake rework 👅

[tranquil cargo]

you'd be surprised how often resting is correct in the act 4 fire, and it's guaranteed to not be able to heal the full 30%

[silent quiver]

Not me i dont take damage

[cosmic delta]

I just maxed my first deck 🥳

[wintry ice]

this is a pretty cool seed

and also funny

[tender quarry]

Also Blue Stake is fine and we should be looking to bring pair down to the level of other hands rather than the other hands up to pair imo 🙂

[vale wharf]

@uncut matrix I have to pick whether I want to discard or keep them. This wouldn't be the case with say, a blue seal steel card

[silent quiver]

Im lying salsa im only on ascension 4 on silent and ascension 2 on everyone else

[white zodiac]

I use all 100% of my hp 🗣️

[wintry ice]

aura gave a polychrome

[silent quiver]

I suck but i still like the game

[manic talon]

is that enough? maybe with the blue stake rework (if the change also doesnt shaft other hands more)

[wintry ice]

yum

[uncut matrix]

why not discard them first and duplicate them so you dont have to discard all of them

[tranquil cargo]

high card and 2 pair are almost as good as pair on average, and sometimes better depending on the run

[tender quarry]

That and a blue seal nerf should be where to start imo

[terse dock]

Yeah I do too im just parroting frostprime

Blue seal rework

[silent quiver]

I only play at the gym because losing makes me push more weight

[tender quarry]

I think those two are the main things causing pair to be dominant right now and nerfing both the power and volume of their chip scaling should help a lot

[terse dock]

I dont go to the gym

[manic talon]

i honestly cant think of a blue seal rework that wouldnt make it ass to play around

hope can tho

[wintry ice]

thunk is a good game designer

[tender quarry]

I've been on record saying a revert would be balanced

Not good design though

[tranquil cargo]

this community loves to call everything blue overpowered

[silent quiver]

Losing to pylons is like steroids

[tranquil cargo]

blue seal, blue stake, blue deck

[wintry ice]

do i take this to make aces

[wintry ice]

blue joker!!!

[terse dock]

Bro just take a cleave

[white zodiac]

I like the concept of 3 hands and 5 discards as a gs normality to not incentivize pairs by default along with other smaller tweaks

[potent tree]

me when i get foil odd todd:

[heady narwhal]

adds a free Celestial Pack to the next shop if held in hand at end of round

!!!!

[manic talon]

wait hol up

[silent quiver]

I dont play ironclad much but i will remember this when i do

[tender quarry]

I'd need to think about this one, could be interesting

[wintry ice]

erm

[terse dock]

Bro just take a shop beforehand and find prismatic shard

[manic talon]

Red card to S+ tier LETSGO

[silent quiver]

Replacing a preexisting pack or like u get a third extra pack

[shell dagger]

i saw a blue seal rework to be that it follows the no dupes without showman rule

[heady narwhal]

extra pack

[silent quiver]

Holy hell

[robust lance]

i mean i know hands arent a problem but in a previous hand i wanted a mult hit and got 3 money hits instead

[pale wolf]

make it affected by card blocking

smh smh smh

[white zodiac]

and nerf red stake to like 1 dollar small blind cash out to offset econ loss

[pale wolf]

i been saying this since the beginging

[tender quarry]

3 hands does seem a little scary though, a bit worried that's pushing too far in the other direction when combined with a blue seal nerf that does need to occur

[terse dock]

#🕹・game-discussion message

[pale wolf]

ikik

[tender quarry]

And yeah there needs to be some sort of way to deal with the econ loss

[terse dock]

No you don't

[tranquil cargo]

black deck now only has 2 hands

[pale wolf]

i do

[terse dock]

You are going to forget

[white zodiac]

black deck can be -1 discard

[robust lance]

casually pulled all my 7s for this

[tender quarry]

Wait 5 discards? I thought you meant 4 lol

[white zodiac]

yeah lol

[heady narwhal]

fool doesn't do this

[tender quarry]

5 is definitely no good, you dig through way too much by default

[pale wolf]

thats ok

[white zodiac]

I didn't know how to incentivize more large hand builds other than this

[wintry ice]

this sounds worth it

[pale wolf]

priestess and emperor do

[formal abyss]

so like max +1 hand level every round?

[heady narwhal]

those don't generate specific cards

[white zodiac]

4 was balanced in its own so I thought why not haha

[pale wolf]

aye

[vale wharf]

$6 😭
What

[formal abyss]

bbut then how are you gonna get 2.25x observatory without perko :(

[pale wolf]

true, the fact that observator

ffs

[heady narwhal]

i think

creates the planet card for last played poker hand
look inside
it creates Earth
would feel bad anf confusing

[pale wolf]

it would just say max of 1

or something

maybe that would disappear with showman

[tender quarry]

My concern is at that point you're just never supposed to play pair

[white zodiac]

idk how new players would deal with the difficulty shift is the thing

yeah that too

[heady narwhal]

it's already one of the longest descriptions in the game

[sly bolt]

I just beat black deck !!!

[pale wolf]

oh no

[distant vault]

Can I find some fucking flat mult

[tender quarry]

+1 Discard -1 Hand could work though

[distant vault]

PLZ

[formal abyss]

1 in 2 chance to generate planet 👅👅

give it bloodstone treatment call that death

[sly bolt]

bloodstone is lame

[twin herald]

burnt joker is flat mult, ez

[formal abyss]

is bj not flat mult

[white zodiac]

i've tried running this through with only black deck runs and it's still somewhat manageable with 2 pair climbing up close in use rate

[tender quarry]

I suppose at that point 2 pair does become very good, that's fair

[distant vault]

Not enough

[twin herald]

yea it is

2 planet cards per blind

[silent quiver]

Blue seal rework if 3 or more are scored at the same time they uninstall the game from your device

[distant vault]

Alright let's see if I make it with just these 2 burnts

[twin herald]

surely

[sly bolt]

this truly seals the deal

[bright slate]

and im cooked

[silent quiver]

Can u quit baiting like this every time i see u

[muted siren]

Until looking in the seeds thread I didn’t realize people made different types of decks like they do lol

[tender quarry]

How does this work with mime

[nova mantle]

What if I cashed in the extra consumable slot voucher

Make it 4 or more

[sly bolt]

what do you mean :3

[nova mantle]

For the magic deck users

[silent quiver]

Every time i see u in chat ur just pretending to be a new player

U have c++ in ur name

[sly bolt]

but I am new

yes because I'm studying programming

[nova mantle]

Afaik they are a programmer

[white zodiac]

im questioning how the common hand scaling jokers will operate since it's noticeably more difficult to use pairs and 2 pairs in a sense. unless the difficulty is necessary...

[silent quiver]

Oh my gosh i am an idiot

[compact gazelle]

magic deck starts with cball you can’t get it again

[sly bolt]

it's really hard to juggle C++ and Java tbh

and then apparently I'm tasked with HTML/CSS as well

[pale wolf]

woah

[nova mantle]

Yeah but if it's 3 or more my game gonna bust if I try to get 3 planet cards ;((

[compact gazelle]

I don’t recommend juggling anything liquid like that yknow

[nova mantle]

Make it 4 or more

[white zodiac]

first time seeing you do this

[sly bolt]

nahhh dw

[tender quarry]

Nanlet arc 😔

[silent quiver]

I forgot about the coding language

[silent quiver]

What is std::move

[pale wolf]

dont worry just testing

[silent quiver]

I need it for a quiz question hurry

[wintry ice]

worth i gues

[sly bolt]

idk

[nova mantle]

I wouldn't take seance even if it was free

[white zodiac]

allegedly

[nova mantle]

Ion care nothing bout the free 2 dollars im doing that out of disrespect

[silent quiver]

Ur messing with my head

[compact gazelle]

seance my beloved maybe second favorite joker in the game

[sly bolt]

why are you asking me that I just play balatro

[sly bolt]

this is game-discussion not programming-chat

[wintry ice]

i haven't used c++ in ages wyhat is that

[distant vault]

Fucking bootstraps

[pale wolf]

writing script for savescumming video

and just messing around with scumming tags

seems it immediately disables menu buttons

[silent quiver]

I just see someone i proficient in c++ and i needed help for one of my college courses sorry wont happen again

[sly bolt]

no way

[silent quiver]

Next time ill ask in the modding chat

[sly bolt]

tbh I'm also not proficient in C++

[silent quiver]

Its in ur name

[sly bolt]

I just play balatro :3

so don't ask me about casts thx

[wintry ice]

completionist++ is shortened to c++

[silent quiver]

Me to me too

[white zodiac]

i have questionable methods one could say

[silent quiver]

They said they dont have c++ thi

[sly bolt]

:3

[wintry ice]

c++ is free though

[silent quiver]

I feel like him

[sly bolt]

that's true

[pale wolf]

||not wearing a protection||

[sly bolt]

what

[nova mantle]

Going to the python discord server to ask for tips about reptile care

[pale wolf]

thats a real std move

[wintry ice]

crying

[compact gazelle]

that’s enough internet for today

[pale wolf]

🦓

[silent quiver]

Laughing in my car in the gym parking lot

[sly bolt]

zeb 😭

[pale wolf]

was snake coded in python

[sly bolt]

yeah I think I need to leave now

bye chat

[wintry ice]

this joke is true because pointers

[silent quiver]

Get some sleep

[pale wolf]

god save me

[wintry ice]

or whatever

[nova mantle]

Should I get the irl balatro playing deck chat

[pale wolf]

idk

[nova mantle]

Would be fun to have a physical Gros michel

[wintry ice]

python is cool

as in both

[silent quiver]

Python joker when

[pale wolf]

as in both definitions of both words

except python the coding language isnt cold temperature

[safe moat]

Hey aren’t the unlock requirements jokers harder to get too

[silent quiver]

Is chipotle open rn lemme know

[distant vault]

Bootstraps sucks so bad

[pale wolf]

harder than what

[queen reef]

Fifth C++ is done finally

[silent quiver]

No

[tender quarry]

That's a lot of balatro

[silent quiver]

Get ur money up

[distant vault]

I want to use my money

Duhhhh

[white zodiac]

yo twins

[nova mantle]

Why did you take fist over bull

[safe moat]

Most regular jokers

[silent quiver]

So u cant get it up and use it

[queen reef]

Smeared and idol being my last 2 this acc was annoying lol

[silent quiver]

Alr

[distant vault]

My chips were fine I didn't need bull

I needed mult

[nova mantle]

Happens

[cosmic maple]

Do I take anything here? Just want to be sure

[distant vault]

You're telling me to save it or to use it

[potent tree]

ignore the fact i have 3 homeless men.

[pale wolf]

what would be a good way to describe the difference between savescumming something like invis, where theres no time crunch, and savescumming a soul where you have to quickly scum it or else lock the result in

[tender quarry]

QTEs

[silent quiver]

Both at ur discretion

[white zodiac]

was photograph and baron on my side

[distant vault]

Its at bootstraps discretion

[queen reef]

Pair my beloved ❤️

[tender quarry]

Mercury looks a little low 🙂

[wintry ice]

is this worth it with 4 purple seals

[queen reef]

Fresh

[wintry ice]

probably not actually

[tender quarry]

That's a bit more normal for mercury

[vale wharf]

Will blueprint and brainstorm give the hologram mult? I'm so fucking screwed otherwise 😭😭😭😭😭

[white zodiac]

bus into bell moment

[distant vault]

No

[vale wharf]

😭 why, Jimbo, whyyyyyyyy

[pale wolf]

there arent any situations where you can load into a run at the start of a qte, are there?

[tender quarry]

No but I think you're probably just fine anyway

[vale wharf]

WHYYYYYYYYYY

[pale wolf]

i guess there wouldnt be any functional difference nvm

[vale wharf]

Fingies crost 🤞

[charred dagger]

This counts as the game, right?

[vale wharf]

Should I swap hologram and scary face?

[wintry ice]

oh yeah this reminds me

[vale wharf]

Y'all, i6BARELY scraped by

[silent quiver]

Nope

[tender quarry]

gg

[silent quiver]

Goat

[tender quarry]

Honestly thought it would be more but still a win

[robust lance]

would you sacrifice score for a singular dollar per trigger

[distant vault]

Good run

[tender quarry]

Very easily

[pale wolf]

how tf do you win

[tender quarry]

Well, I guess earlygame is difficult though

[pale wolf]

like the first round

[robust lance]

jokers

[tender quarry]

Or rather blind 1

[charred dagger]

Ofc he is, One of my favorite sound tracks ever. I also had a big Balatro phase

[robust lance]

dont worry about it

[silent quiver]

Cannot believe thunk got this soundtrack from fiverr

[pale wolf]

you need to arcana skip into double judgement??

[silent quiver]

Literally like a perfect soundtrack

[robust lance]

just use base score

[tender quarry]

2 Flushes is probably the best way but that's too unreliable compared to normal play

[charred dagger]

Might need to get Louis to make me music for myself

[robust lance]

simple

[tender quarry]

So no, the deck is bad actually

[silent quiver]

Pull straight flush easy

[pale wolf]

ugh

black deck all over again but only for 1 round

[silent quiver]

Srry

[shell dagger]

that doesn’t even win

[tender quarry]

Don't even need this, a simple reliable 4oak will suffice

[pale wolf]

the deck isnt streakable

[tender quarry]

Right, but you have more hands after that and it gets close enough

280 so the remaining 20 is fine

Either way it's not a strong deck

[robust lance]

guess which of these riffraff gave birth to

[pale wolf]

its strong for the vast majority of playtime though

just not for 2 minutes

[tender quarry]

If it beats blind 1 it probably just wins instantly but that's more of an if than the entire rest of the game on other decks (probably including black)

[pale wolf]

great deck idea

🦓

[silent quiver]

The middle one

[weak shale]

all of em

[robust lance]

wrong

[weak shale]

skill issue

[potent tree]

i would have taken literally any other boss...

[vale wharf]

5, 5, 5, 2, 4
x1000

[vale wharf]

What is this build 😭

[shell dagger]

let’s see the deck you’ve created

[weak shale]

what about verdant leaf

[pale wolf]

why did you reroll

[wintry ice]

free

[potent tree]

i can sell banana for that because it ain't disappearing lmao

[weak shale]

2% off salamy

[potent tree]

i did not reroll, rng just hates me ig

[weak shale]

L banana seller

[pale wolf]

oh nvm

[silent quiver]

Fun fact Riff raff has a secret 1/100000000000 chance to give a legendary joker

[pale wolf]

thought you had, youll get money

[potent tree]

i just broke one of my glass queens

4oak lv7

[pale wolf]

tbh you shouldnt be broke constantly with vagabond let alone 3

[weak shale]

3 vagabonds ofc they’re not gonna be collecting money

[pale wolf]

huge x

[weak shale]

they are eternal as well

[potent tree]

i made banana foil cause why not, you happy now?

[pale wolf]

like half the time i come away from vagglebond rounds with 40 bucks in hand

[weak shale]

it’s a forced vagabond play

[tender quarry]

Past extremely early vagabond makes more money than the interest it loses

[pale wolf]

or more

[tender quarry]

But like also you just need $10 one time

[pale wolf]

theres like 0 gold ono

and tons of lucky

[weak shale]

did ya survive it

[pale wolf]

thats so suboptimal

[potent tree]

yes indeed

[pale wolf]

i guess lucky hit is just as good for the boss reroll.tho

[tame sluice]

Well well well

[potent tree]

oh it's you again lol. what stake this time

[robust lance]

"yo bro, i know you gon be countered so i showed up"

this build sucks ass

[potent tree]

wait i can reroll!! do i risk hitting bell tho

if i find my last glass queen it's a win

[robust lance]

three spaceman hits in a row btw

[tame sluice]

gold stake red deck

[wintry ice]

insane seed

[robust lance]

manionwannatalktoyobitchass!

took it anyways

[deft panther]

Pretty joker

[pale wolf]

no way this seed has a gold sticker grimbo

[potent tree]

three homeless men fighting over a banana with some random blue guy, how many glass cards breaking? (also dusk still eludes me...)

[pale wolf]

queenly

[deft panther]

Odd Todd really is the odd one out here huh

[tardy nimbus]

hai

[robust lance]

i forgot i had three consumables slots so ive been selling tarots to discard 2 purple seals

(classic blunder)

[silent quiver]

What even like

Is the build

[potent tree]

lmao @weak shale banana died after i oneshot the blind, and i had zero glass breakage

[deft panther]

Vagabondage

[silent quiver]

Ah

I see

[weak shale]

luck

[buoyant fog]

Vagabond my goat

[potent tree]

anyways new run time

if i don't find dusk before 11:59 pm december 31

[buoyant fog]

Now have 3 copies of stuntman

[potent tree]

i will scream

[deft panther]

I had a run with 3 copies of Burglar and it was really funn

[buoyant fog]

I won a run with 3 Holographic eggs and a Swash just recently LOL

but yeah burglar is so much fun

[deft panther]

I got Grimbo with the three burglars and it was all she wrote

[buoyant fog]

DAAAAANG

[pale wolf]

you'll find it right then

[buoyant fog]

Thats like the dream build for grimbo

[pale wolf]

but the run won't finish in just a minute so you still go into next year

[robust lance]

2% power mr bones and the bad bitch he pulled

[torpid veldt]

nuh uh mr bones she's mine

[kind creek]

chat congratulate me, today I maintained my freedom and ALSO got yet another gold stake W

and I will not tolerate any 8ball slander, I took it eternal as my first joker and it rewarded my faith with averaging 2 tarots per round

I took mime because, after getting troubadour, it kept giving me more and more chariots

and deaths

then baron showed up and two hand size vouchers so a +4 hand size baron+mime happened

[torpid veldt]

suffering again...

[kind creek]

carried my econ with temperances, carried my scoring with chariots, carried the deck fixing with death, hanged man and strength

8 ball is GOOD

no moon, no stars, no priestess or heirophant

[deft panther]

Ive never gotten 8ball to give me a tarot, not a single time

But I believe that it can be good

[buoyant fog]

Fantastic run so far

Getting cav this early rocks dude

[unkempt geyser]

Youtube 2025 recap

[white zodiac]

money printer run

[potent tree]

do i reroll? pair is level 8 currently but if i use a stone card it oneshots

[white zodiac]

nah

[shell dagger]

there’s 1 boss that’s worse then

[potent tree]

i ended up rerolling into needle but oneshot that comfortably

[white zodiac]

yeah

depending if you've seen it already or not

[potent tree]

i have not been planted

and ante 7 boss is ox anyway

[kind creek]

question

does a negative stencil get stronger?

[potent tree]

yes

[wintry ice]

ight so do i sell gift card or banana

i'm forced to take it btw

[tame sluice]

@potent tree ok sir I have now showered and am ready to gamble

[buoyant fog]

who tf pinged me

[tame sluice]

How shall we continue our interaction

[kind creek]

what you see here is all the power I have, next up is big blind and the wall.
No deck fixing done yet, I suspect I might be cooked

[tame sluice]

💔

[white zodiac]

gift allegedly

[wintry ice]

mfw

[kind creek]

Negative stencil + ouija?

[wintry ice]

temperances are at 47

[kind creek]

ecto + ouija will kill my hand size though

[kind creek]

I suspect I may be cooked

[potent tree]

once again no sign of dusk. but hey, not a bad madness run

[silent quiver]

Creative mode

[silent quiver]

Im goin crazy

[wintry ice]

does he know

[kind creek]

what do I do here

[odd current]

What do I drop?

[wintry ice]

also object found in kitcken what do you tjink

[tame sluice]

Ouija ecto

[kind creek]

should I sell golden and go for ×7 or stay with my ×6? because I know that ecto is landing on the golden joker

[wintry ice]

i think i'm selling gift card

[white zodiac]

that's what I said

[safe moat]

Probably the one not being used

[wintry ice]

i still wanted a second opinion

[white zodiac]

o

you're not popular enough

[tame sluice]

Use ecto w both

I think

[kind creek]

is baron necessary? if he is, then cavendish maybe. Cavendish is strong, but ×3×1.5 is as good as it gets, while legendaries scale

[odd current]

I’m building towards Baron but don’t have a good setup for it yet

[wintry ice]

if you just want to win, sell baron, if this is an endless attempt for some reason, don't sell anything

[slow pine]

Guys

W?

[potent tree]

my ego has once again been dampened by the water.

[wintry ice]

Also, is he supposed to be the embodiment of a spectral card?

[floral mural]

uma musume and its consequences

[wintry ice]

um

i guess i sell ramen now????

[kind creek]

An ×mult joker that benefits from black deck and a +mult joker that scales infinitely while making space for stencil to be at its strongest?
staisfactory.
now, is stabbing the trio a good idea?

[wintry ice]

If u use ouija I reckon keep the trio

[wintry ice]

i just got 3 temperances from rerolls in a row

whar

[gilded arch]

more progress on irl balatro with augmented reality cards! now it overlays the enhancements/editions/seals onto playing cards and jokers instead of making you print out 9194 different looking cards

also it now uses a smart tag remapping system to make sure you can use any of the 160 possible identical copies of each card interchangably until another instance is needed

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[wintry ice]

i can't even make use of the card sharp lmfao

[torpid veldt]

i hate baron

[wintry ice]

insane

[simple stream]

my luck the moment I play a single non gold stake game

congrats

[torpid veldt]

yeah

[hasty veldt]

i really need help

my next blind is extra large

[wintry ice]

how much steel do you have
